 * **TEDEd Lessons Worth Sharing**
 * TEDEd is a wonderful resource for teachers to use in the classroom. First, you choose a movie to show and then you can start by adding an objective or definition into the Let's Begin section. After watching the video you can move onto the think section. Think is where the students are assessed over the video with multiple choice or short answer questions. Teachers can add their own questions to the level of difficulty they feel is necessary. After the assessment you can move into dig deeper where you can post into more resources or articles for students to research and look at. Students can do lessons independently and the website will track their progress on their personal profile. Teachers can add as little, or as much as they want to each lesson and they can track each students progress as well. Lastly, there is a discuss section where you can have a class discussion on each lesson. This tool seems as though it is an extremely useful tool for teachers and students.
